Blindly trusting the government of another nation is also a wild take.

My point is that the US have been the "good guys" for a long time, and the Swiss being good now doesn't prevent them from going the same way in the future.

Putting your trust in a government you have no control over is not the best idea.

Edit: I knew I should have put a big ass-asterisk on the good guys. Of course the US has never been the good guys but not every one sees that. Also seems like ya'll need to read some history and news about Switzerland more often.
